The Lego Group opened preorders for its first three Lego Pok\u00e9mon sets on Monday at 12 a.m. ET \u2014 and the most expensive one has already sold out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Consisting of three fan-favorite Pok\u00e9mon, Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise, the nearly 7,000-piece build is the largest and priciest of the drop, clocking in at $649.99 before tax. The still-available sets are more affordable in comparison, with the <a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.lego.com\/en-us\/product\/pikachu-and-poke-ball-72152\" data-i13n=\"cpos:1;pos:1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Pikachu and Pok\u00e9 Ball;cpos:1;pos:1;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Pikachu and Pok\u00e9 Ball&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\">Pikachu and Pok\u00e9 Ball<\/a> set retailing for $199.99, and the <a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.lego.com\/en-us\/product\/eevee-72151\" data-i13n=\"cpos:2;pos:1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Eevee;cpos:2;pos:1;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Eevee&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\">Eevee<\/a> set retailing for $59.99, respectively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While the Pikachu and Pok\u00e9 Ball and Eevee sets will ship on Feb. 27, preorders for the highly coveted Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise set <a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.lego.com\/en-us\/product\/venusaur-charizard-and-blastoise-72153\" data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:will resume on Feb. 27;cpos:3;pos:1;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;3&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;will resume on Feb. 27&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\">will resume on Feb. 27<\/a>.

Venusaur has articulated vines and feet; Blastoise has a movable head, arms and water cannons; and Charizard\u2019s wings, legs, arms and head can also be adjusted.

The second and perhaps more sought-after set is the 312-piece Kanto Region Badge Collection, which is free with purchases of the Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Given the Lego Group\u2019s multi-year partnership with the Pok\u00e9mon Company, which was <a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.lego.com\/en-us\/aboutus\/news\/2025\/march\/LEGO-Pok%C3%A9mon-Partnership-Announcement\" data-i13n=\"cpos:4;pos:1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:initially announced;cpos:4;pos:1;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;initially announced&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\">initially announced<\/a> last March, fans expect that even more Pok\u00e9mon sets will become available.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The number of possible Lego Pok\u00e9mon sets seems limitless, considering that there are 1,025 distinct Pok\u00e9mon species in the National Pok\u00e9dex, the catalog of all Pok\u00e9mon encountered by a trainer, as of early 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Lego Pok\u00e9mon receives mixed reactions from fans<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Pok\u00e9mon fans are sharing their reactions to the newly unveiled collection on social media.

While Josh is interested in purchasing the considerably cheaper Eevie set, he\u2019s dissatisfied with how overpriced the Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise set is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI would buy all three of these separately, but so much of the value is going into the base alone. There\u2019s probably more pieces in the base than probably two of these combined. A hundred bucks each, I\u2019m buying all three,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Another TikTok user named Shane, however, begs to differ. In a video posted to the video-sharing platform, Shane argues that the Lego Pok\u00e9mon sets aren\u2019t overpriced \u2014 but acknowledges the absence of smaller, more affordable sets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThey\u2019re about where I\u2019d expect Lego to price these sets,\u201d Shane said. \u201cHowever, I am disappointed that we don\u2019t have smaller sets and we don\u2019t have minifigures, but I\u2019d expect to see them soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Many fans, however, agree that buying these sets from eBay scalpers isn\u2019t worth the risk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt won&#8217;t be worth thousands of dollars,\u201d an X user <a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/0xnobi\/status\/2010916130223763912\" data-i13n=\"cpos:6;pos:1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:wrote;cpos:6;pos:1;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;6&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;wrote&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\">wrote<\/a>, while another <a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FosterJ92\/status\/2010835313027895613\" data-i13n=\"cpos:7;pos:1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:added;cpos:7;pos:1;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkPosition&quot;:&quot;7&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yPosition&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;added&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\">added<\/a>, \u201cPokemon Lego is cool \u2026 these prices are not.
